Hottest Chicks

Dutch symphonic metal group Epica have premiered its new song and lyric video, "Universal Death Squad." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Guitarist and vocalist Mark Jansen said, "The first song we unleash upon you is 'Universal Death Squad. This track is representative for 'The Holographic Principle,' as it's a heavy and melodic album. The lyrics are dealing about advanced robotic legions with a self-determination to kill. We have chosen for a different kind of lyric-video concept in which Epica plays the track in a rehearsal room. The song is very much fun to play and I expect this one will do very well on stage. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did creating it!"

'The Holographic Principle' will be released September 30 via Nuclear Blast.

Lacuna Coil have premiered its new music video, "Delirium." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Vocalist Cristina Scabbia said, "We filmed our parts for this video in one evening while we were on the U.S. tour this past May. We used a Go-Pro against a black backdrop and we wanted something that would be purposely rough, something that could remind some weird lost videos found after years and years.

"The whole video edited together with the parts filmed by the director with an actress turned out as a very strange sort of a trip, where a girl tries to tight up memories and details together to try to find her sanity back, somehow. I really like some of the scenes as they reminded me some kind of Korean horror movies vibe and it is totally fitting the 'Delirium' vibe and concept. It also leaves a lot to the imagination, so thanks for checking it out and enjoy."

The Italian metal act's latest, 'Delirium,' was released earlier this year via Century Media Records.

Hollywood-based rock act Stitched Up Heart will release its new album, 'Never Alone,' on June 17 via Another Century. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere the entire album stream right here, right now. Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Vocalist Mixi said, "When I formed this band I was depressed and going through heartbreak. The name is supposed to give people strength and courage. We all go through things that make us think we can't go further but, especially when times are bad, I want people to see that time will pass and it will get better. The hopeful lyrics on this record are on purpose. I've been living in the dark for too long, it's time to come into the light. You need to pick yourself up because nobody is going to do that for you. There are some sick people out there, but there is beauty in everyone and you need to love yourself before you can stitch that heart back up."

To get 'Never Alone,' visit iTunes, Best Buy or Amazon. For more on Stitched Up Heart, visit their website, Twitter and Facebook.

French metal act Eths–featuring frontwoman Rachel Aspe (who you may recognize from the viral video of France's version of 'Got Talent' a few years ago)–will release their new album, 'Ankaa,' on April 22 via Season of Mist. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere the entire stream of the album right here, right now! Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Guitarist Staif Bihl said, "Here we are, the entire album! I'm really glad to finally share it with everybody. Each song has its own universe and I have built 'Ankaa' as a walk through these different atmospheres, like a passage from the oppressive darkness to soothing clarity. I tried to keep the essence of the band but, in the same time, to bring it in places where we've never been. I injected a big part of myself in this opus and I hope you'll like it as much as we do! We want to warmly thank all those who participated in this album, a part of each of us is in here! Faustine Berardo, Sarah Layssac, Jon Howard & Björn Strid for all the additional vocals, Dirk Verbeuren for the drumming, Guillaume Dupré for the percussion, Nelson Leeroy for the mixing, Mobo (Conkrete Studio) for the mastering & Nicolas Senegas for the artwork. This album is dedicated to our friend Isilion …"
